“…RDI or irrigation with saline RW in citrus is generally associated to a reduction in the TC and crop load and/or the fruit yield (García-Tejero et al, 2010;Pedrero et al, 2013;P erez-P erez et al, 2015). In this case, a reduction of the TC and crop load led to lower yield in RDI treatments, as reported by P erez-P erez, Robles, and Botía (2014), significantly on TW-RDI in 2015 (21% decrease) and on RW-RDI during 2013e2015 (14% reduction).…”

“…Pedrero, Maestre-Valero, Mounzer, Alarc on, & Nicol as, 2014). Crop load was also decreased by RDI: TW-RDI in 2015 and both TW-RDI and RW-RDI during 2013e2015 seasons, as Pedrero et al (2013) for mandarin and P erez-P erez, García-S anchez, Robles, & Botía (2015) for grapefruit observed. Fruit weight was reduced (4, 9 and 14% for TW-RDI, RW-C and RW-RDI, respectively) by water restriction and the use of saline water, and mainly by their combination in 2015 (Table 2).…”

“…On the one hand, RW can be beneficial to crops due to its high macronutrient concentration (Pedrero, Mounzer, Alarc on, Bayona, & Nicol as-Nicol as, 2013), considering that an excess of them could be lost through leaching (Romero-Trigueros, Nortes, Alarc on, & Nicol as, 2014). Besides, RW may imply risks to agriculture due to its higher salt concentration.…”

a b s t r a c tThe aim of our research was to discover the effects of the long-term irrigation with saline reclaimed (RW) and transfer (TW) water and different irrigation strategies: control (C) and regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) on yield and fruit quality of grapefruit at harvest and during cold storage. TW-RDI treatment decreased tree canopy (TC) and crop load, resulting in a 21% reduction of fruit yield. Regarding fruit quality, RW notably decreased peel thickness at harvest (about 8%); however, this difference was not remained during cold storage. Sugar/acid ratio was mainly increased by RDI, but also by RW, due to an important increase in soluble solid content (11% of average value for TW-RDI, RW-C and RW-RDI). In addition, RDI combined with RW, significantly increased the number of fruits in small category 5 at the end of cold storage. Finally, neither ratio yield/TC nor irrigation water productivity were affected by any irrigation treatments.

RESUMOUm experimento foi desenvolvido no período de janeiro a julho de 2010, no município de Areia, PB, para avaliar o efeito da irrigação com águas salinas, biofertilizante bovino e drenagem do solo sobre o consumo hídrico e o crescimento de mudas de nim. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados com os tratamentos arranjados no esquema fatorial 5 x 2 x 2, com quatro repetições. As plantas foram irrigadas com águas salinas de cinco níveis de salinidade (0,5; 1,5; 3,0; 4,5; 6,0 dS m -1 ) no solo sem e com biofertilizante bovino, em vasos sem e com drenagem na parte final inferior. Nas plantas foram avaliados consumo de água, altura de plantas, diâmetro do caule, número de folhas, matéria seca de raiz, da parte aérea e matéria seca total; no solo, a condutividade elétrica do extrato de saturação -CEes. Depois de diluído em água não salina e não clorada (0,46 dS m -1 ), na razão de 1:1, o biofertilizante foi aplicado uma única vez, dois dias antes da semeadura, a nível de 10% do volume do substrato. A irrigação foi feita diariamente com cada tipo de água fornecendo um volume suficiente para elevar a umidade do solo para o nível de capacidade de campo. Pelos resultados, o aumento da salinidade das águas inibiu o consumo hídrico das plantas, independentemente do solo sem ou com biofertilizante. A salinidade da água no solo sem e com biofertilizante inibiu o crescimento do nim porém com maior drasticidade nos tratamentos sem o insumo orgânico aplicado ao solo na forma líquida.

The experimental design was in randomized blocks using factorial 5x2x2, referring to five levels of saline water (0.5; 1.5; 3.0; 4.5; 6.0 dS m -1 ) in soil without and with bovine biofertilizer and in pots without and with drainage. In plants the water consumption, growth in height, stem diameter, number of leaves, dry matter of roots, aerial part and total dry mass were evaluated and in soil the electrical conductivity of saturation extract -EC was determined. The bovine biofertilizer, after dilution in non saline water (0.49 dS m -1 ) e no chlorinated water in 1:1 ratio was applied once two days before sowing, equivalent to 10% of substrate volume. Irrigation was applied daily with each water type applying volume sufficient to maintain the soil with water content at level of field capacity. From results the increase in salinity of water inhibited the water consumption by plants independently of the soil with or without bovine biofertilizer. The salinity of water in soil with and without bovine biofertilizer also reduced the growth of neem plants but with more pronounced effect in the treat...

“…Moreover, field crops are often irrigated with low-quality water. Recently, the use of reclaimed water in agriculture has become an important management strategy in areas with limited freshwater resources (Al-Absi et al 2009;Pedrero et al 2013;Mounzer et al 2012). However, this kind of water generally tends to have a higher salt content than the irrigation water from other sources.…”
